Shocking moment four people are killed when bus ploughs into cars after the driver ‘fell asleep at the wheel’
Footage of the horrific crash in South Korea showed the car careening into the end of a traffic queue
THIS is the horrific moment four people were killed when a bus driver accused of being asleep at the wheel piled into four cars backed up on a motorway.
Footage of the crash in Yeongdong, South Korea, shows vehicles being shunted aside when the out-of-control bus careens into them.
Four people were killed in the crash, while another 37 were wounded.
Police said they were investigating whether the driver had fallen asleep or was using a mobile phone at the time - accusations the driver denied, reported.
Video of the deadly smash was recorded from another vehicle travelling just yards ahead of the bus.

Remarkably, the bus does not slow down at all - it ploughs straight into the back of the queue.
The first vehicle appears almost completely decimated, while a second, third, fourth and fifth are all hit to varying degrees.
